The FLEX-8400 offers the latest direct sampling SDR technology at an economical price for the general HF/6m operator, yet it offers great performance for chasing DX and contesting.

Supporting Adaptive Predistortion

The FLEX-8400 model is designed for the Ham who wants to operate the radio exclusively as a server from PC, laptop, Maestro, Mac* or iOS* clients – whether local or remote.  Both models share the same game-changing band awareness, industry-leading phase noise performance, brick wall filters, and legendary audio performance to deliver you the most fun across a wide variety of operating styles.

With a PC, laptop, or Mac client you can utilize up to two 7 MHz spectrum/waterfall displays and independent receivers to revolutionize your view of the bands.  Its two receivers can be placed simultaneously on any band and mode with instant QSY between VFOs.  Digital mode operation is a dream with no sound cards, cables, or boxes needed.

FlexRadio’s industry-leading SmartSDRTM software offers compatibility across the entire FLEX-8000 Signature Series family to deliver continuous leveraged software enhancement. And you can use the latest SmartLinkTM technology to access your radio virtually anywhere from any SmartSDR compatible client with only a login and password – even your iPhone.
